Need Your Help in identifying this coin - Side of coin pics added

RogerRamjet

This coin was found in the midst of a person's mother's belongings who I know and I said I would try and find out what it is and its approximate value. I collect early US currency and US coins so ancients are not up my alley.

ANY help would be appreciated!

It's the type of a tetradrachm of Ptolemic Egypt, but doesn't look quite right to me. Does the edge have a casting seam? These have been reproduced extensively, some look good many not so good.

Looks like a replica to me to. Looks like one I received years ago. Seems like it was a token that you sent back if you wanted to subscribe to a magazine.

How silly of me to not look at the "third" side of the coin. That's what I get for focusing on currency.
Thank you very much for your help.


Here are the opposite sides of the same coin.

from the line around the edge, this is a cast copy of the original coin... don't know what the original was, but this is definitely a copy

Replica of a Ptolemaic Egyptian coin, as STLNATS said.
